Notes on speed input by reference target
•
When the reference target is lost or goes out of the acquisition range, the
reference target mark blinks and the speed reads “*.*” Select a different
reference target in this case.
•
When all targets are deleted, the reference target mark is also deleted and the
target-based speed becomes invalid. The speed is indicated as KTBT where
BT means Bottom Track (speed over ground).

Reference targets may be marked with a vector. This can be done with 3 REF
TARGET VECTOR on the ARP TARGET menu.
